De La Soul has announced a pay-what-you-want concert at Lincoln Center's Wu Tsai Theater in New York City on January 17, 2025, marking their first major hometown performance in 16 months. The suggested ticket price is $35, but attendees can choose to pay more or less, as part of Lincoln Center's initiative to make the arts more accessible. Pre-sale tickets will be available starting September 5, with general sales commencing on September 12. This concert follows the group's emotional year, which included the passing of co-founder Trugoy the Dove and the debut of their first six albums on streaming services. De La Soul will also perform at several festivals across the U.S. and Europe before their NYC show. Their upcoming performances demonstrate the group's continued relevance and dedication to their fans, even after significant losses.
